ORSO # 132288
(See Article 3.4)
Objective:
To analyze data from the City of Yakima's Equity Study to help inform the 2018 budget and
future budget decision.
Background
In May 2016, the Yakima City Council directed City staff to begin an Equity Study to research
the distribution of city funded services and improvements. This study was launched through the
encouragement of a private non-profit organization. The data collected to date have been made
available to the public on the City's website at https://www.yakimawa.gov/council/equity-study/.
Representatives from the City of Yakima contacted WSU's Metropolitan Center for Applied
Research and Extension (Metro Center) to assist the City with addressing equity concerns of
Council Members around resource allocation.
About the Metro Center
The Metro Center helps Washington's cities and metropolitan communities create vibrant
economies, healthy communities, and sustainable environments. We do this by connecting
decision -makers with the expertise of Washington State University to produce practical solutions
to the challenges of growth. Using a project -based and client centered approach, the Metro
Center remains flexible to respond to emerging needs, and help communities build capacity to
create sustainable solutions for the future.
About our process
The Metro Center compiles a unique team for each project with the necessary expertise and
attributes to successfully complete all project goals. Team members include WSU faculty and
staff; however, we also utilize external partners as needed for a project. Potential partners were
contacted during the creation of this draft to ensure that the Metro Center has the ability to
undertake and fulfill the actions proposed below. Their input and expertise is incorporated into
this proposal.
Project Tasks:
Task 1: Validate Equity Study data
Methods
Confirm with City Council up to 6 data sets identified in Task 2 B, excluding US Census Bureau
data, to assess the validity of those data. For each data set selected we will conduct, as
appropriate:
A. A process audit by interviewing City staff and reviewing documents associated with how
these data were collected, compiled, summarized, and made accessible to the public.
B. An accuracy audit of the data by randomly selecting a representative sample of data
points, and independently determining the accuracy through direct observations.
City of Yakima Responsibilities
City staff will make original data available for an audit and staff members will be available for
questions.
Metro Center Deliverable
Page 10 of 13
Rev. 10-29-13
We will provide a written report of our findings to the City with an option for an in-person or
remote presentation.
Task 2: Analyze existing Equity Study data to assess the geographic distribution of
public resources and funds (e.g. city, State, or Federal)
Methods
A. Assess the quality of the data to understand any qualitative concerns and limitations that
would impact data analysis or interpretation (i.e. period of time collected, geographically
resolution of the data, etc.).
B. Confirm the input and output variables for the analysis, and the geographical dividing
line. Initial 'request included the following 6 data sets, upon which this estimate is based:
o Input variable:
• Demographics, to include income, race, education level, marital status,
home owner or renter, property value and age
o Output variables:
• Public safety calls for service (location, response time)
• Street lights
• Code compliance requests
• Parks (exempt parks that are privately funded or charge for use)
• Transit ridership, shelters, benches
o Geographical dividing line
• 16th Avenue
C. Perform the appropriate statistical analyses to assess any relationships amongst the input
and output (i.e. response) variables.
Metro Center Deliverable
We will provide a written report of the process we used for the analyses, results of the analyses,
and an interpretation of the data, with an option for an in-person or remote presentation.
City of Yakima Responsibilities
City staff will make all data sets, including any meta -data available to the WSU team in mutually
agreed upon format(S), documentation as to how data were collected, accessed, and / or
manipulated as well as being available to answer questions as needed.
Timeline
Completion by 90 days from initiation of the contract, or mutually agreeable date.
Budget: $25,100
The budget includes personnel, materials, travel, and WSU's required 26% indirect costs.
Personnel
Includes all salaries, wages and benefits of project personnel required to implement project tasks
as well as administrative aspects of the project including, but not limited to, meetings, reporting,
and communication.
Materials
Materiel costs will be minimal and may include photocopying and binding of final reports.
Travel
Page 11 of 13
Rev. 10-29-13
Travel costs will be incurred only as necessary to complete project tasks and will include: travel
to and from Seattle and Yakima, hotel and meals while in travel status, and local ground travel,
as set by the U.S. General Services Administration.
Indirect Costs
A Facilities and Administration (F&A or Indirect Cost) rate of 26% is added to all direct project
costs.
NOTE: These are preliminary estimates only, and have not been reviewed by WSU contracting
or finance offices. As such, they are subject to modification as part of the formal contracting
process. These estimates include a good faith assessment of the appropriate Facilities and
Administration (F & A or Indirect Cost) recovery rates (26% for most activities herein), which
may also be changed after formal review. These estimates are provided to facilitate discussion
and negotiation, but do not constitute a formal offer or the basis of a formal contract — which
may only be executed by the WSU Office of Research Support and Operations. All expenses
regarding the venue, food, and rentals are to be paid for by the funder.
